Dr. Gott, America's most popular medical columnist, addresses health concerns (in an organized manner) to assist those seeking information and interesting possibilities for their medical issues. Besides the clinical side of medicine, Dr. Gott does mention things that are naturalistic in methods and natural/herbal aids, but also warns about the quantity and/or use that could be detrimental or non-existent in value to health. (Note: It is not a replacement for a personal one-on-one medical advice from a qualified physician).

Each chapter fields a definitive topic in which Dr. Gott explains possible situations/scenarios that could play out based on his experiences, and his views from a medical perspective, as well. The index in the back of the book is very comprehensive in finding a more specific need. Therefore, there is no need to read the whole book or chapter(s) to become knowledgeable about a specific affliction.

All in all, it is a guide for taking charge of your health.

(Note: Due to physical and/or medical conditions, some individuals fasting would not be safe.)

This book is written from a spiritual perspective, and is based on the author's personal experience.

God has honoured, and is honouring, all the prayers and fasting that have taken place. Prayer with fasting is something exceptional. It can be done individually or corporately as a church or a church group. In tandem with prayer and fasting, each individual would need the dynamic personal changes to help bring natural and world change. 

(1) It renews and refreshes you;

(2) It gets you away from self-gratification, self-worship, self-exaltation…of this worldly system;

(3) It brings dynamic personal change and experience to God's presence and power in your life.

But more importantly, it will help to draw one nearer to Jesus and to know Him; to better experience His presence and power in your life, and to become more effective and fruitful with vessels for Him to use.

The potential Power of this spiritual-type life of prayer and fasting lights the fuse to free God's significant power in supernatural living, including spiritual breakthroughs.
